Visiting Haikuists (and Poets!)

 

I saw your website

And enjoyed your great haikus

Can I contribute?

D. Bost

Life off the turnpike

Appears as anything else

Mafia Killers!

D. Bost

Veins crawl down the limb

Thanks to time and gravity

Job security

J. Altizer

Charleston Christmas lights

Wandering through art and wine

To hidden gardens.

G. Steward

Empty, frigid streets

Behold!  the Borrowed Angels'

Music warms the room

G. Steward

Winter solstice night

Flames lick the moon , starbright sky

Close enough to touch

P. Sandell

Born into the world

In the cycle of carbon

And then we return.

J. Jones

Temperature rise

The oceans do the same

How can we save her?

J. Jones

Can you see changes?

As the sea changes with time

Make changes in time.

J. Jones

Changing winds and calms

Moist air, cumulus clouds rise

Warm dry air subsides.

K. Larkin

Leaves changing, days pass

As the water moves above

Her anchor holds fast.

K. Larkin

Docking

What I wouldn't give 

for a low-tide, mid-summer night,

when dusk runs into day like an

overripe watermelon, 

heat-split on the vine,

and fiddler crabs cavort beneath sea breeze stars,

blissfully unaware of the voices lapping 

in sweet harmony above them.

A. Cook

Bermuda Triangle

Oh, Methane Hydrates.

Why destroy our ships and planes?

Sleep deep in the sea.

Sh. Polson

Dead Zone

Mississippi flow

Fertile transport, to what end?

The death of a sea.

Sh. Polson

Parasites

We weigh down the Earth

with our productivity.

What will be the cost?

S. Polson

The Danube

Blue and Black Bruises

Sharing our scars with the world.

See death of the Sea.

S. Polson

What is for dinner

Garter snakes hunt for a meal

Sucks to be a newt.

USS Arizona

BHT around.
